MGMT just released a new album this week - could be in the frame for a prominent Green Man slot? Possibly electro-y headliner?

Not touring this album, apparently.

[retromoz]

Nadine Shah. Dont think she's anywhere else. Reckon she could headline far out.

 

Just a hunch.

[CRxece_]

King Krule could be a sneaky addition, with an album last year - no current EU festivals however

[CANTON93]

What about Real Estate? New album out today. Maybe as a late afternoon mountain/far out?

Ah ok. Shame, just gave it a spin and it's pretty good.

This seems like a good fit for sure. 

 

Really hoping it's no later than St David's Day for the line-up drop now. Can't wait much longer!

Maybe St David's Day will be the announcement of the upcoming line up announcement 😐

[suttttttt]

My first GM and the wait for the line up is killing me! 

[grumpyhack]

Don't worry about the line up.  It will be good and the festival vibe is great.  All the best bits of Glasto without the hassle.

I've still got a fools hope but likely just madness. Like the fact the first track of Loss of Life is a Welsh poem...I just want it!

Is St. Vincent a possibility? New album has been announced

Very much doubt it. Album won't be out until the summer at least and, remembering the scale and ambition of her recent tours, she wouldn't tour it in the US until the autumn.

I can't believe it's been 9 years since her headline slot in 2015!

She is playing a festival in the Netherlands in June! https://www.bestkeptsecret.nl/program?day=22997

 

Still unlikely I know..

Hope so? Would they have announced this Friday as the announcement date by now though?

You'd like to hope so but with the lack of pre-announcement and the Glasto lineup (Same set of booking teams) not even close I'd very much doubt it.

Is Glasto coming out? Must have missed that one!

[lessthanwill1]

Glasto line up not being out is irrelevant even if the GM team are involved in some of the stages.

A lack of an announcement of the announcement date is telling but it could still come today/tomorrow!

Didn't realise this. Quite intrigued though, do you know what parts of Glastonbury are booked by the GM team?

At least one member of the GM team is involved in the “Park” and “Other” stages. I’m not sure of the extent to which they are involved though as presumably the booking team for those Glastonbury stages is made up of more than one person. The Park link is more obvious as the Park and GM line ups are often quite similar, whereas the Other stage is often pretty different.

Hopefully! With recent years a little 'hype' tweet or information is usually how they do the announcement, feels like we're so close to the festival with March around the corner.

Not sure on Glasto, but they usually just drop it out of nowhere - unlike GM with a set date.

Would Vampire Weekend be out of the realms of possibility? New album in April and only two early tour dates in Aug

[OddRon]

They've been pretty open about who they can afford in the past, I feel like Vampire Weekend would be one of those acts but you never know, it was a shock when End of the Road booked them but I know there were certain circumstances there.

Primavera are advertising them as a European exclusive.

Makes sense, they'll probably come back next summer with a load of dates. 

 

Similar to when they did end of the road in 2018 and then Glastonbury and lots of other festivals in 2019.
